1. 🌱 How to Sow

Oregano seeds are small. Scatter thinly over a fine moist seed mix and cover only minimally. Transplant sturdy seedlings to a sunny location.

2. ☀️ Sunlight, Soil & Water

• Light: Choose strong daylight and a sunny position for compact aromatic foliage.
• Soil: Use a clean, loose, fertile-enough mix with unobstructed drainage. Avoid waterlogged containers.
• Watering: Keep seedlings evenly moist; allow established plants’ surface soil to dry slightly before watering.

3. 🌿 Fertilizer & Growth Care

Light compost is usually enough for a healthy herb patch; avoid rich, constantly wet soil.

4. 🐛 Common Pests & Prevention

Watch for aphids and spider mites on tender foliage, especially in dry, crowded conditions. Inspect plants weekly, remove damaged foliage and avoid automatic pesticide spraying. If treatment is required, use only a locally authorised product labelled for the edible crop and observe all label directions.

5. 🛡️ Diseases & Prevention

Improve drainage and air movement to prevent root rot or powdery mildew. Isolate heavily affected plants and seek local horticultural advice if symptoms spread.

6. ✂️ Harvesting / Flowering

Harvest healthy leafy tips after plants establish; pinch stems to maintain a bushier plant. Flavour of seed-grown oregano may vary between individual plants.
